Abstract

The article from France Today explores the history of the Marquis de Sade's infamous manuscript, Les 120 journées de Sodome. The manuscript, filled with depraved and controversial content, was written by de Sade during his imprisonment in the Bastille. Over the centuries, the manuscript changed hands multiple times, with many owners experiencing misfortune, leading to rumors of a curse. The manuscript is now held in Paris at the Musée de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France, where it can be viewed by the public. [Extracted from the article]
